You've gone from perfect to divine   Gone from perfect to divine   Time heals   And time forgets   Your pots pans shoes all your garbage   And your photographs    Had been thrown into the street   And I stood back in shock   Cause now your shit it looked    Lost without you   I broke a window busted your steering lock   And I cleared out of town   Without you      I said that time heals   And time forgets   But time arrived at motel ceiling fans   That just hang there above   Your empty head   After the rent is paid   And your heart's gone dead   Your friends are gone   You have a hunted face   Outside in the heaving fields   Are draped as heavy as lead   Where the dead wood aches   For reprieved from a fate   That seems so fleeting at a distance   Until that distance is tamed   Time does not heal   And it doesn't forget   It just drowns you when you're thirsty and you're lame   You kneel to drink the water    And the water is flame      Time heals   And time forgets   It's doing fine without you   Your radiator still overheats   But now your starter motor   Just refuses to turn   I tell you nothing's really changed   But I am not the same   And you take   Up all my time   You take   Up all my time   You've gone from perfect to divine   You've gone from perfect to divine      I never understood    Although you tried   Tried to explain   While you were alive   What had turned the face I'd loved   Into a stranger's   I'm staring up into   A perfect night   Everything is so wrong   But the time is right   And for the first time now    I'm looking right at you   I am here now   And it does not have a name   You kneel to drink the water   And the water is flame
